<p>Hi Zulip folks! I was thinking I'd like to make a bit more "active" zulip policy. Maybe the place to start is by scheduling a brief meeting? (Probably after the all hands)</p>
<p>Some of the questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>How will we manage moderation? Are there tools we think we need that we should pre-emptively press the Zulip folks to get?</li>
<li>How should we setup our Zulip streams, and can we help folks get oriented when they get here? <br>
    - What streams should be default, etc?</li>
<li>Who should decide when to create new streams? </li>
</ul>

<p>also can we somehow avoid having people register with their real names here when they use nicknames elsewhere? my muscle memory fools me every time I try to ping ubsan or shepmaster, for example... and I think partly this is because IIRC Zulip explicitly asks for "real name" or so</p>

<p>Would it be reasonable to require signing into Zulip via GitHub? I have no strong feelings here, I imagine some might, I tend to prefer making separate accounts everywhere. But as this is primarily for project contributors, they're probably going to have a GitHub anyway and that might make it harder to make accounts for spamming?</p>

<p>You can enable and disable authentication methods out of "email", "github" and "google" - I assume that existing accounts would be grandfathered in.</p>

<p>Outside of really obvious cases where all the spammer names have something in common, that would just be burdensome I think. There's no way to know if a sign-up from "John Smith" is legitimate or not with only the name.</p>

<p>I'd want to second both the GH login requirement, and the hope of not having to log in to read messages. I hadn't bothered signing up for Zulip until today - I'd seen it floated around a fair bit, but I hadn't joined, on the basis I wasn't sure I had much to contribute. But I'd think it a shame if others like me couldn't <em>read</em> the messages. (Though maybe a GH account isn't too high a hurdle)</p>

<p>I'd reiterate my stance that Zulip (or IRC or Discord or...) are not the appropriate places for such things. They are good for hashing out the details, but they need to be captured in something more durable (e.g. Markdown in a git repo)</p>

<p>in the case of the discord attack, they even enabled the discord option that requires phone numbers, but spammers were able to use some service to supply fake phone numbers.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Wow.  I wish I had found such a service when google tried to force me to disclose my phone number to them... but Google knew about all of these services. I am surprised they are still helpful for anything.</p>

<p>regarding moderation: do we have facilities for muting and/or blocking someone from joining a stream and/or server?</p>

<p>We can kick people from a stream but I don't know what's stopping them joining again (outside of that stream being private and invite-only)</p>

<p>which users have those moderation/administrative capabilities? Is there a separation between moderation capabilities versus other stuff that could affect the server?</p>

<p>I do. Niko obviously does. I'm not too sure who else. I don't think there is a moderator/admin distinction.</p>

<p>yeah, my question was meant more as a thought-exercise. Maybe it is okay to not require a moderator/admin distinction for this forum, at least for now. But its something that Zulip should probably be thinking about.</p>

<p>I guess we should create a doodle poll for a good time for a meeting or something? I'd basically be open to whomever getting involved that wants to.</p>
